Love 'em or hate 'em?

TRU · March 13th, 2006, 01:58 PM

As you might expect, I enjoy watching my teams play and win on Saturday afternoons. But I must admit, I also get a thrill seeing the teams that I hate take a beating. In fact, on some Saturdays (when the games of the teams I support are maybe not very good or significant) the thrill of watching a hated team get beat lifts me more than the wins by the teams I support. I suspect that this guilty pleasure is not somethnig unique to me. That said, here are the teams I love to see get beat, most hated at the top:

1. Miami - thugs, drugs and attitude. What else can you say?
2. Tennessee - two words - Phat Phil.
3. Nebraska - we'll get 200 schollie athletes in per year using the county-based admission system as a conduit. We'll then feed them more steroids than we give our prize bulls. And we'll run over you with the least imaginative game plan ever developed.
4. Ohio State - a team that matches the personality of their state too well. A bunch of whiny has-beens.
5. Michigan - Another whiny program headed up by the most paranoid coach in college football. i only root for them when they play THE Ohio State University.
6. Any team from the WAC. No defense AT ALL. WAAAH coach, I can't play with those boys from the SEC - they HIT ME!!!
7. Any team from California, especially USC. Prissy, tanned surfer boys.

And in a special category - The Dallas Cowboys. Hate 'em now. Hated 'em in the 70s under Landry. Will hate 'em till I die.

Anyone else out there love to see someone lose? If so whom?

The usuals:

1. Tennessee
2. Auburn

The Others:

Ohio State
Texas A & M

Being a Tenn Tech grad (basketball):

Murray State
Austin Peay
Samford

And since I don't really care about the NFL, I dislike any team that T. Owens plays/will play for.

And while we are at it: Detroit Red Wings

...can lose every last game they play as far as I am concerned.

How could I forget aTm? So sorry Frannie! I am really enjoying watching you auger in!

While we're at it, in the same vein, add Milsaps to my list. Anyone know where to get used DIII fat lineman really cheap? eBay does not seem to carry them. Maybe Logan'll know...

I guess you get the picture...I hate 'em and hope they lose at everything they play...right below them I have a bunch of others

I did not include Auburn. I look upon them as a 12 year old boy looks on his 7 year old younger brother. Always tagging along, always whining, always envying his older more acomplished sibling and pretty pathetic in his attempts to emulate him. He may be annoying, he may make life miserable, but you really can't hate him for all of that.

BamaCod · March 13th, 2006, 03:12 PM

1. Tennesuck
2. Auburn
3. Notre Dame
4. Miami
5. Texas A&M
6. Penn St.
7. LSU
8. Florida
9. Ohio St.
10. Virginia Tech

Specials:
Basketball - Kentucky
Pro Football - Raiders
NBA - who cares
NASCAR - Jimmie Johnson

And who has also been cleaning your clock since he was 4 and will probably come back into your room next year and clean it again when you are 13.

So it's safe to say you're predicting a loss to the barn next season?

I don't really go into many games as a fan pulling against a specific team unless they are playing Bama. I might have a favorite in the game, but I don't just pull for whoever is playing xxxx team. I dislike Fulmer intensely, but like the TN program. I dislike TT, but like Auburn.

I understand the sentiment, because I hate the NY Yankees, but don't find myself faced with it very often in college football...
